Continue rinsing and testing with test strips until all test strips show a negative residual result (no color change) to ensure that there are NO traces of PAA disinfecting solution remaining in the entire water system. AmeriWater recommends using Renal Check PX Test Strips (P/N 97PX20501). - Page 30 DISINFECTION HCRO3X Disposal of Outdated Hydrogen Peroxide/Peroxyacetic Acid: Put on rubber gloves, apron, and goggles. CAUTION: Exposure to PAA concentrate or solution may cause severe chemical burns to skin or eyes. Start a flow of cold tap water to dilute the PAA as it flows down the sink drain. Slowly and carefully pour the disinfecting solution down the drain, taking care to avoid spills, splashes, or breathing the vapors.
